==Abstract==
On the morning of 1st December 1948 , the corpse of an unidentified man was found on the Somerton Beach. The project is aiming to break this unsolved case by analyzing the two key clues: the mysterious code and the Somerton Man's hair. Firstly, based on the previous project group's conclusion that the code was initialisms (first letter of each word), the code has been critically analyzed. It was expected to find out which language the code was expressing by calculating the similarities between the code and varies of texts in 9 different languages and analyzing the results statistically. The other aspect of this project was dealing with the mass spectrometer isotope concentration data. The hair data with respect to different elements' contents were obtained through burning and scanning hairs of the Somerton man and the control group. Data from the glass and the quartz plate test are analysed. Theoretically the purity of the quartz plate is higher, as a result the results of spectral analysis should be more accurate. However, in view of the fact that the hair sample of the quart plate test was not complete compared with the glass plate test. Thus, the test data from both experiments are utilized for a comparative analysis. The hair data comparison between the Somerton man and control samples are processed by Matlab.
